Create an itinerary including St Louis Cathedral

One of the oldest churches in Mauritius, St Louis Cathedral serves as a quiet place of meditation. The present Roman Catholic cathedral was built in 1933, after frequent cyclones destroyed earlier edifices from the 18th and 19th centuries. The oldest part of the church is an 18th-century obelisk fountain with four lion heads on each side, located just opposite the entrance. The interior of the church features statues of saints and stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes. Rest and contemplate in the small garden area in front of the church. Make St Louis Cathedral a part of your Port Louis vacation plans using our Port Louis trip itinerary builder.

Right in the middle of the capital we find this cathedral. Very beautiful landscaping and gardens. Parking is a problem.
